In my cookbook, 'Greek Out,' I explain what 'main dish' means to me.

Most people think of dinner when they hear 'main dish.'

But growing up, the biggest meal was usually lunch for me.

I believe a main dish is a feeling rather than a formula.

For lunch, I often enjoyed grilled halibut.

To prepare, rub halibut with sumac, cinnamon, and olive oil.

Grill until it's caramelized and charred, then drizzle with honey.

This dish combines chewy, creamy, cheesy, sweet, and salty flavors.

Halloumi cheese complements the halibut well, even if it's not the most traditional.

The recipe serves 4 as a main dish or 10 as an appetizer.

You'll need lemon zest, sumac, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, pepper, cinnamon, halibut, olive oil, sourdough bread, figs, halloumi, dates, honey, and mint.

First, soak wooden skewers in water.

Mix lemon zest with spices in a bowl.

Dry the halibut cubes with paper towels and coat them with the seasoning.

In another bowl, combine bread, figs, and halloumi with olive oil.

Thread a piece of bread, halloumi, halibut, fig, and date onto each skewer.
